SunMaxx Vacuum Direct Flow Solar Collectors are typically less expensive than SunMaxx Vacuum Heat Pipe Solar Collectors, but they are still designed to provide incredible performance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in a variety of climates, including cold climates where winter freezing can damage other types of solar collectors.
rn
All systems have been tested under the highest quality standards to ensure the longevity of your solar heating system. If you are unsure of where to start or if you require guidance with your solar hot water heating system, please feel free to contact a solar hot water specialist at 1-800-786-0329.

Vacuum Direct Flow Solar Collectors are extremely efficient and cost-effective, particularly in colder climates where other Solar Collectors suffer from limited performance and other problems due to their lack of freeze protection. Vacuum Tube Collectors, unlike others, are extremely freeze protected, leading to efficiencies of over 70% even in freezing temperatures. The unique design and collection properties of these collectors make them exceedingly efficient even in low-light conditions, which is another definite advantage in winter.

SunMaxx Vacuum Direct Flow Solar Collectors are among the most affordable, cost-effective solar collectors available on the market today.
